Red Bull Formula One team confirm Adrian Newey for next season
The Red Bull Formula One team have confirmed that McLaren technical
director Adrian Newey will be joining them for the start of next
season. Adrian Newey will team up again with Scottish driver David
Coulthard, with whom he worked at both McLaren and Williams.
A Red Bull spokesman said: "Newey will join the team as chief technical officer at the end of February 2006."
The 46-year-old Englishman won four world titles with Williams before joining McLaren and winning two more.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner said Adrian Newey's recruitment demonstrated his team's ambition.
Christian Horner claimed: "It's a massive for us. Given the choice of
Adrian or Michael Schumacher, I'd go for Adrian every time.
"It sends out exactly the right message that we are totally serious about what we want to achieve.
"Adrian was keen to take on a new challenge and I'm delighted that we managed to get him to join us."
In their first season after taking over the Jaguar team, Red Bull
finished seventh in the constructors' championship, with David
Coulthard 12th in the drivers' standings.
Adrian Newey came close to joining the Jaguar team from McLaren in 2001
but changed his mind at the last minute, prompting a legal battle
between the two.
